Visit Platform 9¾™ at King’s Cross Station London
King's Cross Station highlights
Platform 9¾
Platform 9¾ at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is a recreation of the iconic location at King's Cross Station. While it's not a real train platform that whisks you away to Hogwarts, it is a popular photo opportunity for visitors. The recreation includes a baggage trolley disappearing through a brick wall, just like in the films. Originally positioned along the corridor between platforms 9 and 11, the installation was later relocated to its current location outside the famous Harry Potter store at King's Cross. You can pose for a photo with the trolley, pretending to be on your way to Hogwarts.

Harry Potter Shop
Another major draw for fans is the store itself. The Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9¾ is an alternative to Diagon Alley for fellow muggles! If anything appears in the series, you will most likely find it here as well. The options are almost limitless, ranging from robes, wands, and Hogwarts school trunks (which you may also customize) to candies, bottled butterbeers, books, and keepsakes.
